Product Information

Duke Balthassar is the mastermind behind the conspiracy, and because of a medical condition that runs in his family, he has developed a bizarre symbiotic relationship with leeches. They help his blood not clot and, for the most part, keep him alive.

Nadim Sawalha as Egyptian Tavern Owner, who Holmes, Watson and Elizabeth consult during their investigations Anthony Higgins as Rathe. Ostensibly a teacher at Brompton School, he is in fact the leader of the Rame Tep. At the end of the movie, he assumes the name of Moriarty. After a school rival frames him for misconduct, Holmes is expelled.He has one last duel with Professor Rathe, the fencing instructor. While Holmes says goodbye to Watson, Waxflatter is shot with a thorn and stabs himself. Dying, he whispers the word "Eh-Tar" to Holmes. Absolute crap. Bad plot, poor research, appalling ignorance of American history. And those are the good parts! Now I have to get more specific, so look out for spoilers in the bullet points below. John Scott Martin as Cemetery Caretaker, who saves Holmes' life by frightening off a Rame Tep assassinSusan Fleetwood as Mrs Dribb, ostensibly the school nurse. She is Rathe/Eh-Tar's younger sister, his cult's second-in-command and chief assassin. Nancy Nevinson as Hotel Receptionist, a woman who meets Rathe/Eh-Tar/Moriarty at the end of the film. The chase scene. This was wonderfully well done. Mr. Lane has some talent here. I was rea..y into that scene, wondering if they'd catch the bad guys or not, very worried for Matty. Even though we know every little about him, I kinda like the scruffy little guy. Mary Harris Russell (March 7, 2011). " "Death Cloud" by Andrew Lane". Chicago Tribune . Retrieved March 16, 2011.

Writing Style: Nothing impressive. The dialogue is rather modern, the sentences short and choppy. The Author doesn't spend a great deal of time on scenery description, which made me sad, because it made it difficult to visualize the world. Too much scenery description is bad, of course, but too little and it feels like the characters are doing everything in front of a green screen. The action sequences are easy enough to follow, though the fight in the boiler room was extremely difficult for me to picture. When reading this series, one has to remember that the series is meant to depict Holmes as a teen. As such, the logic and cold detachment that one would expect from Holmes is not yet developed. I feel that what Lane is consciously depicting here are some of the early steps that led to the more familiar Holmes. I did find that hard to keep in mind at times when Lane's Holmes showed a bit more compassion than I felt was beyond the Doyle character.
